I've been on zoosk as a free member for a few months. I kept getting messages that my profile was being "viewed" by the same woman once or twice a day for a week.

I figured that she also has a free account so she couldn't message me - but it seemed she was checking me out. I decided to see if she was on facebook so I could contact her there. I found her on facebook (same pic). So I made a facebook friend request.

Well, she not only declined my friend request but also blocked me. Oops. LOL. Obviously, she wasn't interested.

Evidently, zoosk posts fake "views" from people whom you have viewed so that you will become a paying member and be able to contact them. Shame on you zoosk.

Now this woman probably thinks I'm some kind of stalker for tracking her down on facebook. Omy.

Reason of review: Not as described/ advertised.

Monetary Loss: $1.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Location: 989 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA

I met my girlfriend on J4Flirt.com - this dating service is a lot better than Zoosk, Match, Tinder, etc. They are more professional with ethical approach to business - something that Zoosk lacks now.

Zoosk used to be better couple of years ago, but now they suck.

The real matches are scant and located at distant places. The fake matches are abundant especially when your membership is about to end

You might find this helpful, found on Wikipedia: On October 3, 2018, Spark was fined $500,000 and ordered to pay $985,000 in restitution in response to complaints that the site was automatically renewing customer accounts without their express consent. The company was sued by the Santa Monica city attorney as well as district attorneys in four counties.[23] On March 21, 2019, Spark entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Zoosk, Inc.[24] The deal was finalized on July 1, 2019, forming North America's second-largest dating company in revenues and increasing Spark's global monthly paying subscribers increase to over 1 million.[25]

I had someone view me at least 3 times a day. I thought he was interested in me so I sent him a message.

He blocked me and I felt bad.

What is the difference between clicking on views and seeing photos of men compared to a smaller photo list? Some you scroll up and see photos, the other views there is one page with a list ??

This happens to me and I am a paid member. It has nothing to do with membership.

All these online dating sites use "bots" to make you think someone is interested in you so you will spend money. And people keep falling for it, time and again.

It's all for the bot-tom line, obviously. Thanks for posting.

Guest

Sent a smile, received a smile back. Sent a message and she "Yvett" sent a message back, but blocked me (or paused) before I could read.

Why reciprocate if you're just going to block? Also, the same people will keep viewing you but never respond to your message...

and keeping viewing you after message. It's no coincidence the less attractive are the only ones responding.

Guest

I had a feeling this site was bogus. You get the same old profiles come up even when you select "remove" and you get "views" constantly from the same people you're not interested in.

I think as soon as you log in and you scroll through those same old profiles, it sends a notification to them as a "view".

Save your money and try another site. This online dating is bad enough, I don't need to waste money to add to the misery!

Guest

They are all fake. Someone tried to extort 500 dollars from me.

If I didn't pay they would have posted some photos of me to my FB friends. Fortunately it never happened and they didn't get there money

Guest

Zoosk is full of fake profiles. I have had almost a hundred likes you send a message and get no response.

Every one of them has one picture no written profile. My membership will be up in a couple weeks and I wouldn't rejoin if it was free.

Guest

I think it's all fake.

Guest

If I state not interested I still get the same pictures over and over: it's like playing Whack-A-Mole"!

Yep. Just found this out today.

Messaged a guy that was viewing me all day every day. He's like lady no.

I've never seen you. I mean fortunately I can laugh it off, but still pretty embarrasing.

Guest

Zoosk definitely sends fake views. If the viewed is not behind the bell in the right side, it’s not a true view.

I’ve explained this dozens of men who got made because I didn’t respond to their messages, “ but you keep viewing my profile”.

It’s dirty the way Zoosk operates but it’s a dating site so what do we expect. Lol.

Guest

I have had several fake messages on Zoosk. Enough to make me unrecommend it forever.

I have gotten phony messages from a profiles with the same pic and different names. None of them ever viewed my profile.

Same thing with Match and all its variations. The only sites that I never got fake messages from were Plenty of Fish and Interracialdatingcentral.

Guest

I joined Zoosk 5 years ago & the fake views was a problem back then, plus I did not like that it showed when I was online or recently online. The fake views is the main reason I never rejoined.

Guest

There are many good , valid points discussed right here. I have seen the same thing in 1,5 YEARS i have been on zoosk.

I have also met in person 9 and yes I keep count.

9 very pretty women that I would not ordanarilly meet . Belive it or not the with best sex I met on eharmony.

Zoosk sucks. Not only do they generate fake views, they also generate fake likes and want-to-meets.

George d Bfu

I have the same issues and included messages that I get from people who never sent them. Also, as I'm browsing profiles, I see that I have sent them short messages before, which I haven't. How on earth can you know know who is really interested and who's not?
